New LJ   
Monday, August 10th, 2009 - 5:03pm
  The journey that propelled this LJ is over and finished. I'm beginning a new time in my life.

If you'd like to keep following along, I made a new LJ for my Carbondale adventures. It may not be as regular as this one, I'm not sure yet. It'll be friendslocked in any case. I'll get up a post at some point for people to request to be friended, but if I have had you friended on this LJ name you don't need to post to say you're friending me, I'll just friend you back.

I don't have any entries posted on it yet (I just got the internet back today, and for some reason I have been busy today, hmmm).

I named it in honor of my now defunct Japanese cellphone email.

Let's all enjoy time with us.

  Last entry for awhile, kids. Let's make it a good one.

Two, two, two entries in one! )

Alright, so here's where we stand. Tomorrow I go back to the US of A. While there I will update once more with my final day in Japan and my journey home. And then I think that's it for this blog. I will make a new blog and post what my new blog name is sometime after. When I have it I will tell you all. This blog's purpose was to chronicle my life in Japan, now that I am no longer living there it doesn't seem right to keep using this blog.
